God of the City

I just got finished watching one of my favorite Youtube videos, Chris Tomlin's God of the City. It was a video I watched on a day when I was down wondering if we were coming here or what was going on in our lives. As I watched it I began to cry for Blacksburg and all that had happen here. I began to believe that though great things had happened here in the past in the Lord; that greater things were yet to come. That God had a plan to reach this city anew and hopefully we would be a small part of that.

Friday we had our first meeting of Calvary Chapel Blacksburg. No famous band played, no free food, no big name speaker to introduce us to the community. Just an out of work man and his wife that sold much of what they had to come to a community and try to share the gospel. In a day where everything the church seems to do is Big. We weren't. You wouldn't have even known we were there unless you of the half a dozen people we spoke with to ask them to come. We had 2 that did. It is a start. We constantly question ourselves about coming. We love this city and we want so much to see the Lord heal and move here is this beautiful area. Our job is to be faithful - His job is to make it grow. We pray for Blacksburg. We ask that you that read this will to.

"Greater thing have yet to come, greater things are still to be done in the city."
